Miles Jupp

1 May 2026 - 14 May 2026

Miles’s recent television credits include The Full Monty on Disney+, The Durrells, Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? And Belgravia: The Next Chapter on ITV, as well as a heap of episodes of Frankie Boyle’s New World Order and Have I Got News For You. He’s made an award-winning radio series, he’s published a novel and he’s played the Emperor of Austria and Europe in Ridley Scott’s Napoleon Yet one sunny day in the middle of all this, he suddenly suffered a brain seizure. This led to the discovery of a tumour the size of a cherry tomato, and a rather pressing need to undergo major neurosurgery. Obviously, one doesn’t wish to make a big deal of it, but the experience has left him with a story to tell and a few things that he’d like to share with the room. So that’s exactly what he’s doing in his new show On I Bang – a tale about surprise, fear, luck, love and qualified medical practitioners.

General Medical Emergency Ward 10!

General Medical Emergency Ward 10!

29 Apr 2026 - 29 Apr 2026

Every hospital, medical-based, Doctors-and-Nurses soap opera, onstage, in 80 minutes! It’s Dr Ann Fleming’s first day at St David’s, where her unfortunately-named mentor Dr Death, is determined to show her who’s boss. As medical emergencies overload the hapless staff, Dr Fleming has to juggle a complicated budding love affair, with a kidney, and a nosey Hospital boss. Not literally. Yes – ‘Holby City’, ‘Casualty’, ‘E.R’, Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘Doctors’ are re-imagined and invigorated by Rebecca Vaughan, Andrew Margerison and Gavin Robertson in a pacy, cliché-ridden comic homage to the intrigues and drama of every medical episode on the small screen! To be taken once a day. (Or twice if there’s a matinee).

Help! I Think I'm Turning Into Ivor Cutler
Many years ago, in Glasgow, Tim Dalling was bitten by a radioactive sparrow called Fremsley. He thought little of it at the time, but whilst drifting through the fog of late middle-age, it occurred to him that perhaps this was the reason he was ever-so-slowly turning into Ivor Cutler. While this could be seen by many as an improvement (Tim himself was an ardent fan of Mr Cutler, both as boy and man) there was the unfortunate side-effect of melancholy. Would Tim himself eventually disappear? Why not decide for yourself by coming to the show and seeing if you can spot this other fellow, Tim Dalling, through the wrinkled, bespectacled visage performing the songs, poetry and prose of Mr Ivor Cutler.

Baby Mash-up, what on Earth are you doing?
Written by Sally Hobson Directed by Nicholas Bone Something’s wrong. Baby Mash-up knows there’s something adrift, but she can’t pin it down. The seams of time and space are splitting, and she wants to figure out what’s going on and - most importantly - how she ended up here. This is both Troubles-era Ireland and also really, really not; this is a field, a laundrette, an ocean, a bingo hall, and a night sky. This is a question about how we make sense of ourselves in a time when our private myths and stories no longer feel true, and how the ordinary can fuse with the extraordinary to reveal a new reality. And yes. There’ll be tap dancing. Naturally. Developed at Macrobert Arts Centre. Supported by Creative Scotland.

Exhibition on Screen: Frida Kahlo

Exhibition on Screen: Frida Kahlo

15 May 2026 - 6 Jul 2026

This highly engaging film takes us on a journey through the life of one of the most prevalent female icons: Frida Kahlo. She was a prolific self-portraitist, using the canvas as a mirror through all stages of her turbulent and, at times, tragic life. Guided with interview, commentary and Frida’s own words, Exhibition on Screen uncovers that this, however, was not a life defined by tragedy. "Seek a deeper understanding of the real Frida Kahlo..." Featuring key exhibitions and interviews with world renowned Kahlo curators, this film explores the extraordinary symbolism and themes in these personal canvases to seek a deeper understanding of the real Frida Kahlo. Using cinema to take an up-close and intimate look at her works we examine how great an artist she can be considered. Displaying a treasure trove of colour and a feast of vibrancy on screen, this personal and intimate film offers privileged access to her works and highlights the source of her feverish creativity, her resilience and her unmatched lust for life, men, women, politics and her cultural heritage. We might think we already know Frida Kahlo – the image of floral crowns, big brows and folk style clothing have made her a muse to generations – but what lies beneath the surface of this intensely passionate woman?
